Key features

Actively heated chamber [ 110° C]
Dual extrusion composite 3D printing
Hit print, in carbon fiber
Flexible build plate
VECT thermal regulation system

Actively heated chamber

Patented VECT™ 110 Thermal Regulation evenly heats and controls the print environment leading to parts that are 2x stronger on the z-axis, and 2x more accurate across the board. (Variable Environmental Controlled Temperature)

Actively heated chamber

Maximum temperature:

110° C

Thermal Regulation evenly heats and controls the print environment leading to parts that are 2x stronger on the z-axis, and 2x more accurate across the board.

Metal replacement parts

Nylon Carbon Fiber

Method X Carbon Fiber produces dimensionally accurate parts in carbon fiber reinforced nylon - optimized for high strength, stiffness, and heat resistance making it ideal for structural applications and metal replacements.

Print strong, heat-resistant metal replacement parts

Rigid metal frame

A structurally-optimized metal frame runs the full length of the body to offset flexing. Less flexing means more consistent prints with better part accuracy and fewer failures.

Dimensional accuracy

+/- 0.2mm

or +/-.002mm per mm of travel*

*(Whichever is greater.) Based on internal testing of selected geometries.

The 1C Composite Extruder

Engineered, optimized, and tested to withstand abrasive composite materials for maximum lifespan.

Direct drive extruders

Quickly change between material groups, preventing cross-contamination.

5” Capacitive Touchscreen

Access an intuitive step-by-step setup and real-time controls and intel on your jobs.

Industry Applications

How top engineering professionals are driving innovation with Method

“Our printer’s working nearly 24 hours. In 2016 we printed nearly 7,000 hours with only one printer - we had a success rate of 92%. To us it’s very important that a 3D printer is reliable.”

Thomas Schmidberger

“If we didn’t have the METHOD I would have to plan out my prints like everyone else who is using the industrial machine whereas the METHOD is a quick print out that we can just pump out”

Brandon Rodriguez

    Layer resolution

    A micron is the measurement used to define the thickness of a 3D printed layer. 20 micron is 0.02 mm thick. Thinner layers are used for high-detail prints, thicker layers are great for fast prototypes.

    0.4 mm nozzle: 400 - 20 micron

    Display

    The touchscreen allows you to start, stop, and monitor prints on your Method series printer. As well as allowing you to calibrate your printer and install firmware updates without needing to use a computer or other device.

    Extruder replacement

    Faster extruder changes mean higher uptime and easier maintenance. The Method X Carbon Fiber Edition comes with 1C, 2A, and 2XA extruders for printing polymers, composites, and soluble support materials. The Labs extruder is sold separately for printing 3rd part materials.

    Swappable performance extruders

    Print head

    Thanks to swappable extruders, you can quickly switch to the extruder that matches the material you are trying to print. This results in higher uptime and easier maintenance of your 3D printer.
